| Hi Shabbie!
Congratulations on the acquisition. As with all data providing devices it is daunting to determine what is/isn't important. Since I have the sense you are new to this (and perhaps just starting an exercise regimine) the two keys to effective exercise are heart-rate and duration. Your goal should be to get to 80% of your [theoretical] maximum heart rate (220 - your age) for up to one-hour per day three-to-five days per week (seven days if you can hack it).
Of course, putting in an hour on any kind of indoor machine is difficult without some kind of motivation/distraction. Perhaps this will lead you towards an actual bicycle for nicer weather. I can attest to the fact that cycling outdoors for an hour plus is much easier than an hour indoors (I've got multiple indoor setups and find it hard to swing my leg over the bike for an indoor hour and I LOVE bicycling!)
